Xu Fang's mind was still in chaos. Seeing the various spiritual treasures cease their attacks and await his command, he forced himself to calm down.
The arrival of the Chaos Bead was too sudden, and Xu Fang genuinely couldn't react in time.
"Chaos Bead, even though you say this, who knows if you're feigning joining us only to swallow the Dinghai Divine Pearl when we're not prepared?"
Xu Fang spoke, as this was a question that had to be considered. One misstep, and he would suffer a great loss.
"That's right! How did we not realize, this Chaos Bead harbors malicious intentions!"
"Master, there's no need to say more, this guy is definitely trying to deceive me!"
"Chaos Bead, we have seen through your treacherous intentions. Prepare to die, and become a trophy in our spiritual treasure careers!"
Upon hearing Xu Fang's words, the assembled spiritual treasures also spoke up, echoing Xu Fang.
They were about to make their move, to make this Chaos Bead a significant testament to their spiritual treasure careers.
After all, even without the might of a Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bead still bore the name of one.
With this achievement under their belts, every single spiritual treasure present would be ahead of the pack among the spiritual treasures of the Primordial Era, by a considerable margin!
"You!"
"You all!"
The Chaos Bead was speechless. It was a Chaos Supreme Treasure, and it had agreed to join them. Yet, Xu Fang remained so hesitant. Did he not truly value a Chaos Supreme Treasure?
However, facing the eager spiritual treasures and the indecisive Xu Fang, the Chaos Bead understood.
If it didn't offer something to prove its sincerity, this matter would never be resolved.
With a sigh, the Chaos Bead, feeling quite helpless, finally used its own power. A surge of light erupted and flew towards the Dinghai Divine Pearl.
However, after flying for a short distance, it was blocked by the spiritual treasure formation. The spiritual treasures braced themselves for an attack, thinking the Chaos Bead dared to cause trouble even now.
"Alright, this is one of my origins, my connection to the Dinghai Divine Pearl."
Helpless, the Chaos Bead patiently explained to them.
"As long as this is given to the Dinghai Divine Pearl, from now on, it will be it, and I will be me. There will be no further connection!"
"In that case, it does show considerable sincerity."
Seeing the Chaos Bead act like this, Xu Fang's expression finally softened. However, for the sake of prudence, he looked to the Innate Gourd Vine and the Enlightenment Tea Tree for confirmation.
Both the Innate Gourd Vine and the Enlightenment Tea Tree had experience in separating treasures. Asking them was the best course of action.
"There is indeed such a principle. The Lesser Enlightenment Tea Tree that I gave to Duobao back then was also separated in this manner."
"Indeed, the Empress Whip that Nuwa bestowed upon the human race was also done this way."
The Innate Gourd Vine and the Enlightenment Tea Tree both spoke, confirming that what the Chaos Bead said was true.
However, this was still not enough to completely put Xu Fang at ease. He looked towards the Dinghai Divine Pearl behind him.
"Yes, I can feel it. As long as I absorb this origin, I will be able to become completely independent in the future."
The Dinghai Divine Pearl stared intently at the ball of light, its eyes filled with anticipation.
"As long as I obtain this origin, this old fellow, even if it tries to swallow and fuse with me again, will be of no use to it."
Hearing the treasure in question speak, Xu Fang was finally completely relieved. He waved his hand, signaling the spiritual treasures to release the ball of light.
Just then, the Chaos Bead suddenly spoke.
"Xu Fang, have you thought it through? Once this origin is lost, I will lose the opportunity to swallow and fuse with the Dinghai Divine Pearl to be reformed. Future opportunities for reformation will be difficult."
"Are you truly willing to abandon a Chaos Supreme Treasure like me for the peace of mind of a mere Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
Xu Fang heard the Chaos Bead's words but did not reply. He directly guided the ball of light towards the Dinghai Divine Pearl.
Without hesitation, the Dinghai Divine Pearl surged forward, absorbing the ball of light.
"Alas, alas, since it has come to this, there is nothing else that can be done."
The Chaos Bead sighed with regret. What else could it do?
At least, it could still exist and not be further fragmented and shattered. This was already a good thing.
"Alright, Chaos Bead, there's no need for you to sigh. Since you have joined us, we will take care of you in the future. Come, let's give a warm welcome to our new comrade!"
Xu Fang spoke to comfort it, and the assembled spiritual treasures expressed their warm welcome.
Regardless of how damaged the Chaos Bead was, it at least had the title of a Chaos Supreme Treasure. This instantly elevated the standing of Xu Fang's Treasure Group.
Seeing everyone like this, the Chaos Bead nodded inwardly.
Perhaps this choice was not bad. Xu Fang cherished his treasures so much. If it became his treasure, he might find a way to reform it.
Seeing that there was no more fighting to be done, the spiritual treasures all settled on the Treasure Distribution Rock. The Chaos Bead also took the opportunity to blend in amongst them, acting as if it belonged.
However, Mo Yu Qilin and the others watched with bewildered expressions.
Didn't their seniors just say they were going to destroy this treasure earlier?
How did this treasure end up on the Treasure Distribution Rock, acting as if it was Xu Fang's possession?
Xu Fang snapped back to attention and looked at their questioning gazes. He recalled something and quickly transmitted a message.
"The onboarding ceremony over there will be paused for now. Chaos Bead, if I take you away, what will happen to the Qilin Cave Heaven?"
"What else can happen? It will just be like this!"
"Like what is 'like this'?"
"It's just like this! Liang Tian Chi, you're being passive. I'm at least a Chaos Supreme Treasure, show some respect!"
The Chaos Bead tried to brush it off casually, but Liang Tian Chi directly intervened. The Chaos Bead, feeling helpless, had no choice but to patiently explain to Xu Fang.
"Alright, this Qilin Cave Heaven is a world I manifested. Over so many years, it has become incredibly stable. It can exist independently of me. Don't worry."
Xu Fang heard this and nodded repeatedly, but still asked.
"Is there no 'but'?"
"Yes! But if I leave, this Qilin Cave Heaven will no longer drift around. It will become permanently fixed in one location."
After hearing this, Xu Fang immediately conveyed these words to Mo Yu Qilin.
"That's how it is. I'm truly sorry, but I want to keep this Chaos Bead. You don't need to move, but you won't be able to appear and disappear at will anymore."
Xu Fang felt a little embarrassed. After all, the Qilin Cave Heaven's ability to drift around was due to the Chaos Bead's existence, which had always been the best form of concealment, a great benefit to the Qilin clan.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu Qilin did not feel disappointed but instead let out a sigh of relief.
"This is for the best! We finally don't have to move!"
"Daoist Xu Fang, please don't worry, these are not problems at all!"
Mo Yu Qilin agreed very readily. After all, they had been prepared to migrate their entire clan. Hearing that they didn't have to move, they were naturally overjoyed.
Moreover, to be honest, they had long wished for stability.
After all, it took a Qilin clan member only a moment to go out and return to find their home had drifted away. Over the years, how many Qilin clan members had been lost and separated.
Now that they could achieve stability, wasn't that a wonderful thing?
Hearing their words, Xu Fang's heart also settled.
He had gained the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bead, and the Qilin clan could also stabilize themselves in the Primordial World. It was a win-win situation.
Today was truly a day of great joy for all!
